NAME

Smart::Comments::Log4perl - An extension of Smart::Comments to utilize Log::Log4perl for all output

VERSION

Version 1.002

SYNOPSIS

Smart:Comments is a great module which allows debug to be completely ignored during normal execution, but have debug entries fire when necessary. Log4perl turns logging up a notch, allowing easy logging to STDOUT/STDERR or file handles easily. This seeks to combine the two in a useful manner.

Here's a brief code snippet.

        use Smart::Comments::Log4perl;

        my $foo = {};
        ### Log a variable: $foo;
        ...

CONFIGURATION

Configuration of Log4Perl is very simple by default, with no additional decorations above Smart::Comments, with a to-screen logger that logs at debug and above. Wholesale configuration may be done via a Log4perl configuration file, which can be loaded into the system by either setting the SCL4P_CONFIG environment variable to the location of the file or by placing the following line: ### l4p_config: 'config/location' Variables may also be used in this configuration: ### l4p_config: "/log_root/$log_file"

Please note: Once a single line of logging has occurred, the ### l4p_config lines will be ignored, as there is no way to re-intialize the Log4perl system at the moment.

LOGGING

All normal ### smart comments will, by default, be logged as INFO level logs. The level for regular smart comments may be changed by calling the meta-command: ### l4p_level: 'INFO' (Other valid options are FATAL, WARN, DEBUG, and TRACE) A single line of logging may be run at a different level by a matching meta-command per level: ### l4p_trace: 'This is a TRACE level log' Note that anything after the : must evaluate to a valid Perl string in order to log successfully. Analog meta-commands exist for all 5 available log levels
